An interesting note about Lac St. Anne...

One winter in the first decade of the 1800's David Thompson was staying at Lac St. Anne and the Fort Edmonton fur traders were netting the lake. He weighed the largest whitefish caught and recorded the weight in his journals. 18 lbs. and some ounces. Wouldn't that be a treat to catch?

sorry for the derail... dare to dream.
